Indian poverty levels higher than Pakistan's, says UN report

[neehar]

and this is the more recent one jan 2013

"At one time, not so very long ago, a Pakistani could proudly say, while drawing a comparison with India where millions slept hungry at night, that no-one in his country went to bed with an empty stomach. No more, alas! The spiraling rise in the prices of goods of daily use, on the one hand, and the static incomes on the other have combined to spread hunger, which now affects a large segment of our society. And if one were to add the growing incidence of unemployment caused by inflationary pressures, the picture would become starker. According to some reports, as many as 40 percent of the population lives below the poverty line."

Poverty in Pakistan


"A STUDY on poverty has brought Pakistan face to face with a reality that it will find hard to accept: every third Pakistani is caught in the ‘poor’ bracket i.e. some 58.7 million out of a total population of 180 million subsist below the poverty line."

Actually BPL list in india is a controversial one....Because there are somany people actually ABL and declare BPL to get the freebies and other benefits from government...... I know few family who have done that- out of itone family earn close to 25 thousand a month but the are considered to be BPL and their new ration card says BPL.... But having said that india has to go a loooong way to eradicate poverty. Insha allah we will do it)

( i have no problem if pakistan is better off... i would congratulate them.... and would be happy that they have progressed well)

LOL indian website,

I just love yr desperation.
As the poverty in india is more then us then its very illogical for pak to have more slums then us.
As Pak living standard is even today far far better then india talking abt average indians not elite.

Poverty high in Bangladesh, India: HDI

UNDP also released its 2013 Human Development Index (HDI) along with the Report, which ranked countries in terms of economic and human development indicators.
The Multidimensional Poverty Index, an alternative to income-based poverty estimates, shows the proportion of the population living in poverty is high throughout South Asia, with the highest rates in Bangladesh (58 percent), India (54 percent), Pakistan (49 percent) and Nepal (44 percent).
